After coming in as a consensus top-three team in the nation and a national championship favorite, the Wildcats fell back to earth like a sack of rocks.
Following their 34-point blowout loss to Duke to open the season and a ho-hum victory against Southern Illinois on Friday night, Kentucky dropped from No. 2 to No. 10 in the latest AP Poll this afternoon. To make matters worse, the Blue Devils jumped from No. 4 to No. 1 overall, overtaking the top spot initially held by Kansas.
This evening, however, Andy Katz and the NCAA.com crew proved to be even more critical of Kentucky’s rough start.
